A standard class return from Manchester to London is £175 now, you know.

Are you really trying to say car hire, for two people, is dearer than
that?
Are you sane?

You posted that at 11:48, so literally "now" .... at that point, it would
have been £50.

Approx the cost of 2 day's parking.

AND the reason why its 175 quid when you leave between 7am and 9am, is
because people will pay for it.
You wouldn't want to "buck the market" would you?
